Holiday Activities and Food Programme

If your children are eligible for benefit related free school meals* then they could enjoy free activities during the Easter, Summer and Christmas school holidays.


Our Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme is for children and young people in Reception through to Year 11 who are in receipt of benefit related free school meals.


There’s always a range of activities on offer, including multi-activity clubs, sports and games sessions, craft and creative activities and fun days out and experiences. Our sessions are inclusive so are suitable for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).


Every child who attends a face-to-face session will be provided with a free lunch andhealthy snacks.


For more information and how to book visit the Holiday activities and food programme (HAF) web page.


* not to be confused with universal infant free school meals for children in Reception, year 1 and 2
